Advanced Training Course

Data Protection Compliance in the EU

This course has been specifically designed to give professionals responsible for data protection issues within their organisations the key resources and practical information they need in their daily work. By following this advanced training course participants will further develop the professional skills necessary to be a top-performing data protection professional. The programme has a practice-oriented focus, providing participants with in-depth knowledge of the current issues relating to data protection compliance in theory and practice. The objective is to enable participants to deepen their working knowledge of data protection and to qualify them as data protection specialists. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance after completing the training course.

Optional part on 23 February: Workshop & Examination. The certification is offered in cooperation with the network of DPOs and for the EPSO Competition for Administrators in the Field of Data Protection it is considered an asset by the European Union.

Individuals who are already EIPA-certified and who obtained their certificate can use this course to update their knowledge and maintain the validity of their certificate. They do not need to pass the examination again; participation in the advanced course extends the validity of the certification with one year.
